I've had problems with mine all day. I'm thinking of switching over to "IntenseDebate" as it's free and fairly aesthetically pleasing. Every couple of months Blogger seems to throw a fit. I don't get many comments, and want to cherish the ones I do get ;-)

@CS - will have to investigate that. I have had a few problems with Blogger, but they always seem to be resolved quickly. This one was a major bummer. Like you, I get only a modest number of comments, I don't like to lose any of them :)

Thanks for the link - I'll have a look at that tomorrow. If I could run the blog without having to swap between my main email account and my blog account tnat would be a major plus - the rigid linking of Blogger and Google is annoying. Cheers!

I have separate Google accounts for general use and blogging. That keeps the blog stuff separate and it's satisfactory in that way. But I seem to spend the evenings swapping between the two accounts, which is tedious. If Google allowed one to be logged into two accounts at once it would be fine. I was only wondering if a different blog platform would be more convenient. If ID is a hassle, then that's the end of that for me. I don't blog to be hassled!

Richard, I don't know if this is any help but I have a gmail account for copies of my comments and my subrosablonde account is a yahoo one. Both google and yahoo insist you close one before opening the other. This way I can have both blog related email addresses open in tabs.
